[ISLMA-Share] Seating Charts

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I do one seating chart per class and that’s for the tables. On the floor they just sit where I Point for them to sit.  Mostly just primary grades on floor anyway.

I have round tables in one area for the primary students and a computer lab for the older students. However, once the Kindergarten classes begin centers, I don't rely on the seating charts as much. I am terrible with remembering names, but the nice thing about being the only librarian is that, aside from the new Kindergarten classes and transfers, I already know all of the kids, which makes seating charts easier.

I made a Google slide with a template of each area and typed in the student in each assigned spot, taking into account IEP needs and behavioral needs. I am NOT going to change this unless a student needs to be moved or a new student moves in.
